VITRONIC WSI is joining LMI Technologies.
Proven Precision/Global Scale/Unmatched Support
We’ve joined forces to deliver the world’s most comprehensive 3D vision and inline weld inspection ecosystem.
LMI Technologies is proud to announce the acquisition of VITRONIC’s industry-standard Weld Seam Inspection (WSI) business. For decades, automotive leaders have trusted VIRO WSI, Weldloop, and WSI Visualization to guarantee flawless weld quality. Now, combined with LMI’s world-leading 3D sensor innovation and global support network, the future of weld inspection is stronger than ever.
We are committed to total continuity. Your operations, active projects, ongoing maintenance contracts, and dedicated point-of-contact remain uninterrupted.
The WSI business begins a phased integration into LMI Technologies, carried out step by step over the coming months.
All existing VIRO WSI sensors, software licenses, and hardware configurations continue to be fully supported without service gaps.
Key engineering, product management, and technical specialists from VITRONIC WSI are joining LMI Technologies to ensure complete continuity.
Complete portfolio retention including VIRO WSI, Weldloop, and WSI Visualization, with WSI Web coming soon.
Continued development and support from the core WSI welding specialists.
In-depth domain knowledge across battery production, car body, axle components, and powertrain applications.
As WSI integrates with the LMI platform, customers gain access to capabilities that build on the system they already trust.
WSI customers will gradually gain access to LMI’s worldwide service network across the Americas, Europe and Asia, with more local spare parts, more field engineers and faster response times as the network grows.
WSI’s welding expertise and LMI’s 3D sensing and deep-learning technology will be developed together, with the goal of even more accurate defect classification in future releases.
Over time, WSI will connect more closely with LMI’s broader sensor and software portfolio, opening new options for factory-wide quality management and automated production lines.
VIRO WSI captures the 3D surface geometry of each inspected seam inline, checks every feature against tolerance, and flags surface defects before parts move downstream.
A production seam with surface pores — easy to miss by eye at line speed.
The VICT sensor captures the seam’s true 3D shape and defines its outline and evaluation region.
Each defect is classified and localized, giving operators a clear Rework / Scrap / Release decision.
One connected workflow — from precise 3D seam measurement to process correlation, operator rework, and enterprise-wide quality analytics.
Non-destructive 3D inline weld seam inspection delivering reliable quality assurance at high production speeds.
Real-time correlation between optical 3D weld seam measurements and welding process parameters.
Intuitive operator UI for real-time visualization of inspection results and defect positions.
AI-powered defect classification, with WSI Web adding centralized online monitoring dashboards and historical quality statistics soon.
Trusted by automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers wherever weld quality is non-negotiable.
Inline, non-destructive quality inspection on complex battery frames, guaranteeing structural integrity and seal perfection.
High-speed inline inspection for structural seams, laser welds, and braze joints across automated body-in-white robotic cells.
AI-driven inspection capable of distinguishing spatter from functional defects on heavy-duty structural parts.

What the move to LMI Technologies means for your WSI systems, support, and resources.
LMI Technologies is acquiring VITRONIC’s Weld Seam Inspection (WSI) business, with the acquisition closing on October 30, 2026. The WSI product line and the specialists behind it will move to LMI through a phased integration over the coming months, and support for installed systems continues throughout.
Yes. All installed VIRO WSI systems, VICT sensors, software licenses, and hardware configurations remain fully supported, with no gap in service.
No. Your active projects, maintenance contracts, and service agreements continue as they are today.
Your current point of contact stays the same. For anything new, use the contact form on this page and a WSI specialist will reply within one business day.
Yes. Key WSI engineering, product management, and technical specialists are joining LMI, so the experts who know your system are still there for you.
No. VIRO WSI, Weldloop, WSI Visualization, and the VICT-10, VICT-30, and VICT-40 sensors keep their names. WSI Web is coming soon under the same name.
For now, detailed WSI product pages, case studies, and articles are still on vitronic.com, and we link to them from this page. Over the coming months, we’ll bring all of this content onto lmi3d.com.
Yes. As each page moves to lmi3d.com, the old VITRONIC links will automatically redirect to the new location.
Yes. After the English pages launch, versions in German, Spanish, Chinese, Polish, French, Japanese, and Korean will follow.
Full specifications for VICT-10, VICT-30, and VICT-40 are on the WSI technical data page. Updated spec sheets will be published on lmi3d.com as part of the transition.
